“Free” Lunch at Work

The following Everyday Savings Tip comes from, Michael:

Real simple, there's three of us at home: myself, wife, and 9-year old daughter. When I'm cooking supper, I always add 1 extra piece of meat and an extra handful of plain noodles, or ride and taters to the side.

The extra piece of meat and side goes to work the next day. We have two fridges and three microwaves, and I've got a “free” lunch instead of spending 5-8 bucks on fast food!

If you want a fun way to challenge your lunch spending, check out my friend Andrea's site, Lunch It Punch It.  Download the free lunch punch card and pay yourself a reward when you to eat out!
